So I took some pictures today of the AA building and it’s windows. Since Sabrina mentioned the possibility of putting an installation there for the final project, I keep looking at them. Of course from afar the building looks like a face of some sort with eyes, eyebrows, a mouth/ nose area and even horns….

http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/02/yuki_taro.jpg I thought this was interesting cause a few days ago we had a talk on how computers can better help the world. Well, it seems as though computers are being put into robots who shovel snow. So if they can do that I think they can do other things. This is one way that…

This glove is designed to assist someone with performing CPR by “measuring frequency and depth of the compressions along with detecting a pulse no matter the strength and informing of its speed. It uses audio tones to help the user maintain an optimal level and speed of compressions.” This COULD potentially save lives, but the…

Around 2 years ago, when the common Pentium 4 was around 2.6gHz, a group of overclocking fanatics attempted to break the world record for the fastest clock speed. Their goal was to successfully clock a Pentium 4 processor at 5 gHz. Back in the day, I was a hardcore overclocker (until I blew up my…

Since it is Valentine’s Day I found this thing called “The Dumpster”. It is an interactive blog that teenagers use to display their relationship problems. You can compare and contrast the different things they have written which were found through millions of online blogs. Kena

I thought that this is a great integration of sound and visual clips. Each sound seams to trigger a new image or continue the progression in the current one. Good idea. I would like to see if we could interact with one of these programs in class. Maybe by the end of the semester.

Heres another example of using motion detection in your art. It looks like this installation is using an eye following program to match the viewers eyes with the people’s in the pictures. The presentation is a little revealing, I would have at least tried to hide the camera.

Apparently, newly released evidence shows Bill Gates, Microsoft’s Founder and CEO, behind it all. While reporters have been unable to assert the veracity of this claim, the following exists for your perusal:

The arc tangent is an installed interactive piece that activates space between individuals who surround it. The movement and position of the people are what determine the drawing that are created on the piece. Depending on the space of the people that surround the piece makes up what display is featured on the piece. The…

Intel has developed a 80 core processor which can perform up to 1 trillion calculations in a second. I find it impressive that duo core is just establishing itself as a standard in current PC Intel comes up with this. Though, is probably beyond anyone’s reach at the moment I can’t wait to see what…
